Augusta Canal National Heritage Area 

Picnic and a view? Pack a basket of local goodies and visit the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area where you can bring snacks and beverages to enjoy as you take in the wonderful views. Start your journey at the Savannah Rapids Headgates and marvel at the historic structures and natural views along the way.

 

Brick Pond Park + the North Augusta Greeneway 

Just across the 13th Street bridge in the old Hamburg area of North Augusta, Brick Pond Park is a 40-acre restored ecosystem and nature park boasting scenic views, hiking and biking trails, and a variety of wildlife. Get up close and personal with river otters, turtles, frogs, and alligators. After the picnic you can stroll along the nearby North Augusta Greeneway, so bring comfy shoes and enjoy the entire day exploring the area.

 

Aqueduct Park 

Just minutes from downtown Augusta, Aqueduct Park is an oasis in the middle of the city. Rushing waters feed from the canal, creating a beautiful site for a picnic. Grab a spot on the rocks and enjoy the views.
